The poll was of AAAS members, not a random poll of scientists. That is clearly stated. The stated goals of AAAS are: Help governments formulate science policy ( Learn More) Promote advancements in science education ( Learn More) Increase diversity in the scientific community ( Learn More) Use science to advance human rights ( Learn More) Assist individual scientists in developing their careers ( Learn More) Communicate the value of science to the general public ( Learn More) If you look at the stated goals of the AAAS, it is clear that it will self select for people with strong liberal ideologies. Look at the council......what does the AAAS council makeup indicate?....yup, all academia aaas.org that would be like going to a Grateful Dead concert and doing a poll about the legalization of marijuana.....or more to the times, a Phish concert. It's not a representative sample.
